Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 31 Imbalance
The two Xuanming Elders and a group of Mongolian cavalry hurriedly chased back.

But now Lin Yi's lightness skills are so good that he is three times faster than Wei Yixiao. Moreover, he has deep internal strength and his endurance is even longer.

If they exerted their full strength, the cavalry would not be able to catch up with him even if they were sprinting on flat ground, let alone being restricted by the green forest.

When Zhao Min saw Lin Yi's sudden counterattack, she was frightened for a moment.

"Shoot! Stop him!"

Zhao Min gave the order while turning her horse around and galloping along the official road.

She is an excellent rider and rides a precious horse, so of course she will not sit still and wait for death.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—

Arrows flew through the air. Lin Yi used his lightness skills, stepped on the ground, turned his body, and flew ten feet into the air to avoid the rain of arrows.

He swept his sword across, consuming 30% of his internal energy to cut out a sword energy!
"what--"

There were endless screams and a row of cavalrymen fell to the ground.

Lin Yi took a step and leaped out, catching up with Zhao Min in a few moves.

Zhao Min raised the whip and swung it hard at his face!
Lin Yi grabbed the whip and pulled, and she tilted her body and fell down. Lin Yi acted very quickly, pressing the acupoints on her shoulder before hugging her.

But Zhao Min's foot happened to get stuck in the stirrup, and the horse was startled and ran away. Lin Yi was pulled so hard that he almost fell to the ground! Zhao Min also screamed.

bass!
Lin Yi used a precise sword to cut off the stirrup and then took Zhao Min away.

"Princess, we are truly destined to meet."

Zhao Min was captured again, and she wanted to cry but had no tears: "Lin, I will kill you!"

Lin Yi took Zhao Min abducted and led her into the green forest. He deliberately slowed down, but soon the two Xuanming elders came to kill him.

"Little thief, put the princess down!"

A crane-head pen flew towards him, and Lin Yi dodged it by slightly turning sideways.

Lu Zhangke slapped Lin Yi with his palm, but because Lin Yi ran so fast, the palm missed him by about an foot.

Hebi Weng flew over and slapped Lin Yi on the back, about to hit him - suddenly Lin Yi turned around and let Zhao Min in his arms block in front of him!

Hebi Weng was so frightened that his face turned pale! If he struck Zhao Min with this blow, how could she survive? He quickly withdrew his palm power.

Lin Yi smiled coldly, quickly stretched out his hand and placed it on Hebi Weng's palm, and his internal force burst out.

boom!
Hebi Weng flew sideways, his back hit the tree trunk, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He suddenly withdrew his palm power and was about to suffer a backlash, but Lin Yi took advantage of the opportunity and attacked. With just one blow, he suffered severe internal injuries.

[Gain 6 points...]

Lin Yi was just thinking about getting rid of these two powerful enemies today when suddenly Lu Zhangke slapped him with a palm.

"Does he really dare to kill Zhao Min?"

Lin Yi's thoughts flashed through his mind. He was holding Zhao Min in the air, making it inconvenient for him to dodge, so he could only use the Nine Yang Qi to protect his body.

Snapped!
Lu Zhangke slapped down with his palm, and both Zhao Min and Lin Yi were shaken!
Lin Yi only felt a force with icy coldness passing through Zhao Min's body.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest and a chill all over his body, as if his whole body was about to be frozen. The true energy in his dantian was running wildly, as if it was about to explode!
But Lin Yi did not panic. He flew backwards along with the force and dodged a few feet away with a tap of his foot. He had been practicing light skills on the plateau for these days and often encountered dangerous situations, so it had become an instinct.

Lin Yi was shocked. These long-established masters really were quite skilled...

Lu Zhangke actually used a move similar to "shooting the bull from behind the mountain". If he hadn't had the Nine Yang Magic Art to protect him, he would have been seriously injured by this palm strike and would definitely have been left behind!

He didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. He took a deep breath and used his lightness skills to escape. His figure was like a wisp of green smoke, floating away.

Lu Zhangke was shocked. His Qing Kung Fu was not very good and he could only watch Lin Yi's back disappear.

A voice came on the wind.

"If you want to rescue Princess Shao Min, two months later, under the city of Xiangyang, I will offer you the five major sects in exchange. If you dare to harm the five major sects, hehe..."

Lu Zhang politely waved his sleeves. Today, both of them, fellow disciples, were unable to do anything to Lin Yi. They were completely humiliated!
Moreover, Zhao Min was abducted and would definitely be punished if she returned.

Lu Zhangke turned back to look for Hebi Weng, only to find him lying unconscious on the ground. He quickly channeled his inner energy into him, and only then did Hebi Weng slowly open his eyes.

……

Half an hour later, in a secluded cave.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, his face turning blue and purple, and it was obvious that something was wrong.

Zhao Min lay on the ground, curled up beside him, her head resting on his thigh. Her face was pale, her brows furrowed, and she was trembling all over, looking like she was half dead...

Ninety percent of Lu Zhangke's palm strike was directed at Lin Yi, but as the intermediary, Zhao Min had to bear some damage, no matter how little.

Lu Zhangke was a vicious person. He planned to kill Lin Yi with a palm strike and then heal Zhao Min's injuries. He understood Zhao Min's character and knew that she would not blame him for this.

Zhao Min would definitely rather be injured than be kidnapped and captured!

But despite all his calculations, Lu Zhangke still didn't anticipate that Lin Yi would master the Nine Yang Divine Art, withstand the blow, and kidnap Zhao Min...

Now Lin Yi himself has problems and has no time to take care of Zhao Min. Her martial arts skills are mediocre and her internal strength is weak, so of course she cannot withstand the coldness of the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm.

Lin Yi felt like he was about to explode! Or maybe he was about to go crazy!

With the Nine Yang Divine Art protecting him, the force of Lu Zhangke's palm strike did not cause much damage to Lin Yi, but the fatal thing was that the cold air invaded his body and broke the balance in his body.

What Nun Miejue described happened... During the battle, someone's true energy entered her body, causing the Nine Yang True Qi and the evil-repelling internal force to become unbalanced. The consequences are self-evident!

"This is truly a huge pitfall. I can't have it all... I need to quickly find a top-tier offensive martial art to replace the Exorcism Sword Technique."

He had added some Exorcism Sword Technique before because Bright Summit was approaching and he had no time to look for other martial arts. It just so happened that the Exorcism Sword Technique could significantly increase his combat power.

Now, it’s time to plan for the long term.

Lin Yi felt it for a moment and came to a conclusion.

He can first use the Nine Yang True Qi to suppress the cold, and then rebuild the balance.

Lin Yi opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Min, who looked distressed - but she couldn't hold on for much longer.

Lin Yi sighed and made a decision.

As for love, he still coveted Zhao Min's body and didn't want her to die;

Logically, Zhao Min's death would indirectly kill the five major sects and make them the mortal enemy of the Ruyang Palace.

Anyway, this step will be taken sooner or later...

Lin Yi took a deep breath.

Wash some!

[Evil-Repelling Sword Technique: 78 → 0]

【Points Return: 39 points】

"Only half of the money is returned after washing. How shameless..."

In an instant, half of Lin Yi's internal energy disappeared! However, the Nine Yang Qi in his body calmed down, and all the restless feelings disappeared, and his mind became clear.

[Available points: 95 points]

[Available points: 7 Grade A points]

Lin Yi started to add some.

[Nine Yang Manual: 41→80]

[Available points: 56 points]

[Available points: 7 Grade A points]

A warm current flowed through the meridians of his body, and Lin Yi felt as if every limb and bone was immersed in a hot spring.

The Nine Yang Manual is a sacred text of internal strength. The more you practice it, the more your internal strength will improve.

Compared to the previous time when the two kinds of internal force reached a balance, Lin Yi's internal force increased again. Compared with those five supreme masters who had practiced for decades, it was probably not much inferior!

But because he lost the Exorcism Sword Technique, even though his internal strength increased, his combat power decreased...

“Misfortune often lies at the root of good fortune, and good fortune often lies at the root of misfortune… I really don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.”

"Fortunately, my internal strength has grown, and my Qinggong has improved. If I can't win, I can just run away."

"No, we need to think of a way. Are there any opportunities around Xiangyang City?"

"——Dugu Sword Tomb!"
